Lakers fall to the Hornets

Sunday the Lakers were beat by the Hornets in the first game of the playoffs. Can the Hornets pull an upset and win the series? I say no. The Hornets shot 51% from the field and I do not see that happening again. The Lakers played pretty well but its hard to win when your oppenents are making most their shots. Kobe and Phil Jackson will not let the Lakers fall early they will go pretty far in the playoffs.

Kemba Walker

UConn Guard Kemba Walker has probably played his last game as a Husky. Sources say that Walker not coming back for his senior year and he is going pro. I think that this is a great decision for Kemba. He had a spectacular season and winning the championship was the icing on the cake. Right now he is pretty much a guaranteed first round pick. If he stays at UConn, he runs the risk of getting hurt or playing poorly which will affect what round he goes in. I think he made the right choice and hopefully he plays this well in the pros.

Point Shaving

Recently 10 people from the University of San Diego Mens Basketball team are being charged with running a sports betting business to affect the outcome of games. This to me outstanding. I can't believe that the players would actually try to influence a game for a bet. They are playing the game for the wrong reason and they shouldn't play again. Sports should not be like this and I hope that all those people get the punishment that they deserve.

Tigers Return

The Masters last weekend was a great event to watch. It was good to see a lot of unexpected people be at the top of the leader-board but I was happy to see Tiger Woods fighting for the lead. He has been playing terrible and this tournament turned it around for him. Even though Tiger was up at the top, I think that he still struggled a lot and mostly it was with his putting. He could not make a putt to save his life and that drove me insane. Other than the putting, I think that he was striking the ball nicely and was playing smart golf. I think that Tiger is starting his comeback and hopefully we will see him winning more tournaments.
